And so it happened that I received a call from the superintendent of Bucyrus City Schools. He had heard about Speak Truth To Power (STTP), the human rights education curriculum offered by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, the organization my family founded in 1968 to carry forward my father's unfinished work. As schools continue to run more kids are leaving and joining different schools which appoints that more kids in school are getting bullied per day. As students get bullied …show more content…
We do it all the time, and our children are even better at it than we are. Parents, teachers, neighbors, bus drivers - we all can do our part to raise children who see themselves as human rights defenders. In doing so, we're not just creating safer schools for them but also passing on to them a more just and peaceful world. Two children in every classroom in America are estimated to miss at least one day of school each month because they feel unsafe. Local governments realize we cannot afford to dismiss youth violence as simply "kids being kids." Anti-bullying legislation has been passed in 49 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. As schools progress with the anti-bullying slogan at least out of all of those kids in the class at least two students are at least going to miss one day of school each month of the school year. Following the implementation of STTP, according to a forthcoming independent study we commissioned, Bucyrus students reported a change in attitude regarding bullying, particularly their awareness of bullying as an issue. Administrators have seen an increase in reports of bullying, and one student described the STTP activities as "helpful not just in handling bullying, but [providing] reasons to be more open-minded about other people." As schools initiated the STTP program more students had an attitude adjustment and had regards about bullying other people. As students get bullied out of all the schools
The bullies in schools never think they will get severely punished, so they don’t stop. They think that they won’t be caught and that bullying isn’t a huge deal, but it is. Bullying causes students to not go to school, to feel alone, and to leave their school feeling worthless. If the bully were to be suspended, he/she would learn quickly that what they are doing is wrong in so many ways. They will realize that bullying can be the reason they don’t get into their dream school or do something they love. On the other hand, victims of bullying don’t come forward and voice that the have been taunted, teased, and tormented because they don’t think the school will help them. 67 percent of students feel that their school doesn’t hear about their bullying and doesn’t do anything that will prevent it (Soard). A great number of bullies in
Suicides happen more often in America because of bullying. Bullying needs to stop. Bullying is worse than a bystander because there depressed, mad, or sad.
A lot of teens commit suicide due to bullying because it makes them feel unwanted and lonely. When everyone is picking on them they feel like they have no friends, and no one to turn to or talk to. Also kids and high school tend not think long term and don’t look at the bigger picture. An example of this in Hamlet is when Ophelia drowns herself in the river because she thinks Hamlet doesn’t want her and that he doesn’t love her. Another example although its not in hamlet a transgender teen in Texas committed suicide because she was bullied every day at school and hated going to school as a result of that. Eventually she committed suicide because it had gotten so bad. Also, now with social media being as popular as it is almost everyone has a twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. so that could allow people to harass them on there or commit

There are 4,400 suicides per year because of bullies. Schools don't do anything about it. So let's think if there was girl getting bullied walking down the hall balling running for the bathroom taking either her belt of or her purse strap of wouldn't you think of stopping them and ask them what's wrong i mean if i was a teacher and seen her running and doing that i would leave my class.

Did you know that more than 5,000,000 kids commit suicide due to bullying every year. Most kids commit suicide due to physical and/or cyber bullying. Children feel abused and they think there is no point to living, so they kill themselves. For example, a person in high school blew his head off with a shotgun because he was being bullied. Here are some reasons why people bully others.
Despite its recent resurgence into the spotlight, bullying is still a problem in schools across the country. While most states have adopted or enacted anti-bullying policies and laws, bullying incidents occur far too frequently to believe that the problem is under control. Although there may never be a single strategy or program to end all bullying in schools, there are promising approaches that warrant our attention. Anti-Bullying initiatives, such as P.R.E.S.S. and RIPP, which promote school unity, classroom safety and community involvement, are proving to be more successful than the current practices used in schools today. Furthermore, the implementation of these initiatives in every school could possibly be the antidote to the bullying
Did you know more than 50 million people around the world commit suicide? A lot of people mainly referring to teens or kids get bullied all around the world. When no one tries to stop it, it causes the victims to go into some type of depression, then leading on to committing suicide or can cause themselves physical harm such as cutting on their thighs, stomach, and/or arms. When kids bully those are the types of things the victims of bullying do to themselves.
Experience of being a victim of bullying can finally damage the mental health of students and motivate them to commit school violence. "According to statistics in two-thirds of cases of the recent school shootings, the attackers had previously been bullied" (Sampson, 2009, p.1). For most children learning process itself may already be a daily struggle and being a target for bullying at the same time can become "the straw that broke the camel's back", after which they consider suicide as the only possible solution. "A study in Britain found that at least half of suicides among young people are related to bullying" (Detlor, 2010). So, due to the fact that problem of bullying negatively affects students' learning ability, their health and the entire school climate society should take definite and urgent measures to solve it.
Relevance Statement: The National Center for Education Statistics states 1 out of every 4 students is being bullied. And bullied victims are 7 to 9 times more likely to consider committing suicide and 36 percent keep quiet about being bullied. The victims can be your sibling, cousin, or your neighbor.
Bullying is one of the many factors of school that can lead to depression and suicidal thoughts. Bullying is the unwanted, aggressive behavior that unintelligent people like to bestow onto “weaker” students. Many students who kill themselves are bullied by others and they can not break the heartbreaking cycle of daily torment. Suicide to those students was a way out from the day-to-day torment (Giddens 31). Bullying obviously can take a major toll on one’s life. Bullies often tend to put others down so that can feel better about themselves. If a person can hurt someone so bad that they want to kill himself, then the school has a major problem. “Bullycide” is the term being used to describe a suicide caused by bullying (Giddens 19). The real problem is when other students laugh at the victim instead of helping the victim out. The laugh people have on the victim can be tragic. The person feels isolated and degraded (Giddens
This review of the literature on school climate and bullying provides a grim picture of day-to-day life as a child in school. But there is hope. There are as many programs and tools to combat bullying on campus as there are negative narratives and statistics that reveal its dark impact. There are many kinds of responses that schools can have in regards to creating safe spaces. Some of them are considered “hard” responses. These are things like zero tolerance polices, more security staff on campus, and the ever-increasing use of metal detectors on school campuses. Other responses are considered “soft” responses. Examples of these are anti-bullying programs, conflict resolution programs, more counseling, and better parent-teacher and home-school communication. Certainly, aware teachers play a major role in creating safe environments and are often called upon to mediate conflicts on school campuses. It will take a combination of all of these approaches to keep everyone on the school campus safe. Furthermore, the approaches must be administered with reason and centered in respect or else they contribute to more violence on school campuses (Willoughby, 2016). For instance, there have been national examples of zero tolerance policies where an elementary child with a twenty-five-cent bubblegum machine, half-an-inch plastic gun – something that was obviously a tiny toy – where the child was thrown out of the school district for violating the zero tolerance rules. This is
Bullying is a wake up call for attention, since 1 in every 3 children are affected. Over the past 3 decades, the suicide rate has gone up by 25% because of bullying. Although, many kids are affected by bullying and do not speak up causing unstable relationships with close ones or even their life, bullying is a problem, and people should take it more seriously because it harms the victim and close ones.
